Understanding Electronics Inside and Out

If you're a nature photographer, you probably spend a lot of time out with your camera waiting patiently for that perfect shot. Finally, that animal you've been stalking comes into shot just when your camera batteries die. You dive into your bag looking for the spares you've brought along, but the time it takes to change them is too long, and the animal has gone. There are small things you can do to prolong the life of your batteries, so you don't have to miss those much-desired shots.

It is no secret that lighting within homes constitutes a big portion of your energy bills. For many people who use solar energy as an alternative source of energy, lighting the home at night may not fully benefit from such energy saving schemes. This is because incandescent lights and other types of bulbs draw huge amounts of electricity just to keep your home lit. Fortunately, LED lights are breaking out fast into the market for home use as well.

About Me

Hello! My name is Erik. When I was in primary school, my teacher sent a note home to my parents. It said, "Erik always tries to take things apart during class. Today, while I was in the supply closet, he dismantled the class record player. I would like to arrange a meeting with you to discuss his behaviour." That note got me in so much trouble, but my mum told me later that it actually made her smile a little bit. She knew how much I loved taking things apart, and she knew it helped me understand them. Fast forward 25 years, and I'm still the same person. I love taking things apart, building things and repairing them. Electronics are my specialty -- in this blog, I am going to help you understand electronics inside and out, as well.
